Try Run:ai on Azure Cloud¶

You can try Run:ai by starting a virtual machine on Azure. This option is currently limited to a single GPU node. To install a cluster with multiple nodes or for running a formal pilot with Run:ai, use Cluster Installation.

Prerequisites¶

You will need:

• An account in Azure with a quota for GPUs. Run:ai will work with any modern GPU.
• Tenant credentials and data, provided by Run:ai customer support.

Create an instance in Azure¶

• Go to Run:ai Quickstart in the Azure marketplace.
• Press the "Create" button.
• Select a name, subscription, and machine size with GPUs. The machine should have at least 8 CPUs.
• Under the Advanced tab select Enable user data. Paste the user data provided by Run:ai customer support. It should be in the format:

  export RUNAI_TENANT=<tenant-name>
  export RUNAI_CLIENTID=<client-id>
  export RUNAI_SECRET=<secret>
  

• Create the machine.

Use Run:ai¶

Go to https://<tenant-name>.run.ai. Use credentials provided by Run:ai support.

After ~30 minutes you should have a working Run:ai cluster. You can submit Jobs via the user interface. Command-line is not provided.

Limitations¶

This setup does not support single-sign-on.
